82Before and After of a Singapore PUB Monsoon Water Canal during a heavy rain - Bukit Batok West outlet drain
This is just a short footage of before and after of before and after of a Singapore PUB Monsoon Water Canal during a heavy rain - Bukit Batok West outlet drain.
Drowning incident this Dangerous Canal in 2007.
The body of the missing teenage girl swept away in the Sungei Pandan canal on Sunday afternoon has been found.
The police alerted the media at 1pm that Debra Koh's body had been found in the open seas near the river mouth of Sungei Pandan.
The teenager, along with three friends, had been swept away by strong currents while trying to retrieve a handphone that had fallen into the canal. The accident happened near Block 182 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 at about 3.40pm.
One of the teenage boys managed to swim ashore 20 minutes later, while the other boy and girl were rescued 40 minutes later.
All three were taken to the National University Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries
In response to media queries, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) said, “A canal can look quite dry but as it is fed by a system of drains, heavy rain that occurs elsewhere within the catchment can bring down a rapid surge of water within minutes.”
This is especially so in Singapore, where short but intensive periods of tropical rainfall results in the rapid build-up of water in drains and canals, said PUB.
PUB added that the section of the canal where the teenagers had entered is usually dry, but it has a catchment size of 173 ha, which is about one-third the size of Bukit Batok town.
The four teenagers were believed to have entered the canal, next to Block 182 Bukit Batok, to retrieve a handphone that had fallen into the waters.
Police said the two boys and two girls, aged between 13 and 14, were then swept downstream.
One of the boys managed to swim to safety and was picked up by a foreign worker near the International Business Park.
Shortly afterwards, the other boy and a girl were rescued by police and passers-by between Jurong East and Clementi, after they were spotted clinging on to a buoy.
All three were sent to the National University Hospital where they were treated for minor injuries.
The four-kilometre long river starts from Bukit Batok West Avenue 8 and flows down to the sea.
Eye witnesses said the water level in the river rose rapidly during the afternoon downpour.
Some even described the water in the river as fast-flowing and swift.
Under the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, a section of Bukit Batok West Outlet Drain from Bukit Batok West Ave 8 to PIE will undergo a makeover where a new lookout deck and lawn area will be developed to create additional communal spaces for community bonding.
